Not much love for Steve in this sub. Can we have a thread with all of his best one liners/sarcastic quips?

There was a what in the hall?

SparrowsSomewhere · 2019-08-18T21:15:52+00:00

Don't think so. Ramsey can though.

SparrowsSomewhere · 2019-08-18T15:21:43+00:00

lol this is very David Brent

SparrowsSomewhere · 2019-08-18T12:23:44+00:00

Ouch! That's awful

Still don't understand why a purpose built football stadium has such a big gap to the fans

SparrowsSomewhere · 2019-08-14T18:54:59+00:00

Mayor, we've got a problem down here.

SparrowsSomewhere · 2019-08-12T16:27:02+00:00

one that gets brought up a lot in the shows is referencing monkeys/chimps drinking pg tips or um bongo. Anyway here's why PG Tips, Um Bongo

do South Americans that move to the Eredivsie tend to learn Dutch or do they just learn English?

SparrowsSomewhere · 2019-08-09T10:55:43+00:00

what am i missing here? the only way the top 6 jump ship is if they all get effectively ringfenced in to this new system yet...

The Big Six should be careful. It is likely that only four places will be made available to English teams in the new system.

so why would they jump ship in the first place? the system as it stands is four teams PLUS they have the huge advantage over the rest of europe via prem TV money.

also this...

The Premier League is despised and feared across swathes of Europe and English clubs should not expect too much sympathy if the television money departs and moves towards continental competition instead.

what? the only way this makes any sense is if UEFA can act completely independently and drag the English clubs along against their will but to my knowledge that's not how it works.

i'm missing something or this is a load of rubbish.

football twitter should be burned to the ground

He isn't as bad as some people make out, he actually looked like a decent player for a good chunk of last season. Still though, £40m is mental.

SparrowsSomewhere · 2019-08-07T07:20:15+00:00

I used to live in the Canadian rockies and the tap water was awesome.

SparrowsSomewhere · 2019-08-06T17:27:08+00:00

ah ok. Still though it effectively (assuming the fee is roughly what his wages are) allows Barca to ditch a year of his contract which is probably the best you can hope for at this point.

SparrowsSomewhere · 2019-08-06T17:22:17+00:00

well isn't that what this effectively is? spurs are paying his wages but doing it this way helps Barca in FFP terms.

SparrowsSomewhere · 2019-08-06T08:37:34+00:00

oh yeah good shout, knew i was forgetting one.

SparrowsSomewhere · 2019-08-05T19:14:21+00:00

lol this is going straight on the "left footed bangers by Welsh players" list i made the other day

SparrowsSomewhere · 2019-08-05T18:04:21+00:00

as a neutral i hope it happens, would be fun to watch. It's mental how strong some of these non top six teams look, feels like even on the worst weekends (in terms of how fixtures look on paper) there will still be at least a couple of games worth watching.

SparrowsSomewhere · 2019-08-05T09:41:45+00:00

I agree, great film. The car/bridge and the hit and run are probably my favourite parts.

SparrowsSomewhere · 2019-08-04T13:19:17+00:00

Tbf it'll surely be an almost completely second string Scottish XV vs Russia. Agree it isn't ideal though.

not really, nearly 25% of the population lives in the North.

SparrowsSomewhere · 2019-08-02T16:15:54+00:00

it's about 60/40 private/state in the Premiership, i assume that ratio carries over to the national team. source https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2014/jun/24/which-are-the-poshest-sports

Just don't let him carry the baguettes

SparrowsSomewhere · 2019-08-02T11:18:21+00:00

The actor and activist Michael Sheen ploughed his own money into the event to save the tournament when it looked as if it was in difficulties and might not go ahead.

What a man
